El Centro, California — The El Centro Police Department (ECPD) released body camera footage of an officer-involved shooting that resulted in the death of 50-year-old Manuel Verdugo on December 29, 2019. The release of the footage comes less than a month after Manuel Verdugo’s daughter, filed a lawsuit demanding the release of bodycam footage from officers. During this incident, officers responded to calls about a shirtless man in the middle of traffic armed with stolen knives and threatening violence. When officers arrived, the suspect charged at ECPD officers who initially fired less-lethal, beanbag rounds to stop him. As the beanbag rounds were ineffective, the shooting occurred as the suspect continued to charge toward the retreating officer with the knives still in his hands. Verdugo was on active parole and was a registered sex offender when this incident occurred. He has prior felony convictions for the following crimes: forcible rape, corporal injury to spouse/cohabitant, willful cruelty to a child It (11-month old girl), spousal abuse/battery, vandalism, forgery, and criminal threats with the intent to terrorize with a weapon.

Wtf I live here
That’s sad cause I’m in el cajon
2:50 I use those things to cut open my packages from Amazon and use it for cutting my food I was 14
This is hilarious. They say they were keeping their distance. Meanwhile some retard officer drives into the heart of the battle and confronts the knife wielding lunatic head on. Obviously the nutcase was going to charge him and obviously they had no information on his priors. How do they have no info? Clearly because the system is a complete and utter joke. He was just released from prison and then in the psych ward, so lets go send 5 armed policeman to take him in. That makes sense.
Suicide by cops with the daughter's consent, what has this sad, sad world come to.
I’m sorry but that cell phone witness is not intelligent. If you hear a dozen shots being rang off you don’t just sit there exposed for the footage, especially when you’re in the crossfire
This is the result of the United States shutting down mental institutions in the 90s.
so sad when an individual is sick of trying to cure him with bullets rather than with suppositories…
Who else thought he was playing hopscotch WITH the cops in the thumbnail?
Okay come on, I think they shot 4 or 5 more rounds after he was on the ground. Bullshit
And nothing of value was lost, except for a few rounds of 9mm ammo. The End.
12 feet is the kill zone with a knife
If you can't pepper spray a fat guy with a knife and stay out of his way until it has a chance to work, you aren't fit enough to be a cop.
Now here's the real scary thing: This dude has children.
big pharma makes you suicidal you ask for help and then cops kill when they show up
It is the smartest call dispatcher in US.
So they did what he wanted them to do "SUICIDE BY COP"
They shot 8 times more than they needed. They’re murders and nothing more
Wtf was that one cop car doing driving towards the suspect when the officer was firing at him? Does he want to die from friendly fire?
this is so sad. police had to defend themselves but I still feel sorry for this man.
Very interesting that you tube blocks the comments on certain videos due to it being too violent. Obviously you tube and the left trying to take away your free speech and try make you hate cops
Weird he sounds hella calm
dude that cop should of backed up in the car but rearview is 2020
Sad.
I'd say his attack failed..
Is that a Doctor calling in ? She clearly know her way arround mental health problems. Love how she knows all about the "Sick in the head" sickness
Soooo. He is running to get away from the bean bag rounds and you shoot him…. duuuuuuh.
In these videos, seems like there’s more suspects with Knives then with Guns?

Awful. This poor man needed help!
Bean bag shotgun was used first and I feel it should be used in more situations, I’m just sad that it wasn’t enough and the officer was forced to use his lethal :/ wish this man could’ve gotten more help

For the love of God do not turn on the captions during the first 911 call
if i learned one thing on this channel its that the dispatchers fucking suck at their job.
Y do they keep shooting?
woahhhh that’s my home town
Kkllkkkklkkkklkllllllllkjjjkkkklllmk
Gladiators in Ancient Rome had nets to disable their opponents, why can't police use nets to entangle mentally unstable old fat suspects with knives?
Perfect call for Social Workers!
